Project Overview

Urban Roots strives to change the way children eat and learn through our programs. Our Farm Camp program is a garden-based week-long day camps designed to inspire excitement for learning in children ages 5-15. Campers delve into plant biology, animal care, and nutrition while planting, tending, harvesting, and tasting food straight from the garden. Your gift will enable us to provide summer education to children ages 5-15 who reside in low-income neighborhoods and/or attend schools where 60 percent or more of the student body is eligible for free and reduced-cost meals.
